Denial of Service Vulnerability in Cisco Wireless LAN Controller

CVE-2007-2038

Summary

The Network Processing Unit (NPU) in the Cisco Wireless LAN Controller allows remote attackers on a local wireless network to initiate a denial of service. This can occur through the transmission of crafted SNAP packets, malformed 802.11 traffic, or packets with certain header length values, leading to potential loss of packet forwarding and disruption of network services. It is crucial for network administrators to identify and mitigate these vulnerabilities to ensure the integrity and availability of their wireless networks.
